Industrial Real Estate

Demand for industrial real estate is on the rise! Growth in manufacturing, e-commerce, consumer spending, and international trade, and expansion of the Panama Canal are driving the demand for industrial and warehouse space across the United States. As the demand for industrial space grows, so does the need for information on management and operational best practices. BOMA International offers a number of resources to help industry professionals understand and take advantage of the burgeoning industrial real estate market.
